How many hours do you have to do one one of those things before you can do a trimix course? I hear they are really good

50 hours logged on the unit, then you can ask Kev for the PIN to turn on the gas functions.

And believe me Martin, as you know, in the winter and in very cold water, it has not been fun, but I completed mine a few weeks back.........

So short trip to the UK for some training (I hear you have one or two wrecks around the UK?)

Who are you doing the course with? where is the course?

If you've got a spare evening in your schedule, I'm sure we could arrange a Rebreather World meal/drinkies to co-incide................

Objectively ?

Great

Trim wise, as good as a 15,5

Against the current (in a cave narrownesss) ? use a scooter ! who swim nowadays ?

I dont know what you mean. I find the trim better on a MK15.5 than on an inspiration - I have owned and dived both extensively.

So if the Boris is as good as a MK15.5 then ill be happy.

So what have you seen so far that has made you doubt it?

***Decodiver*** · 12th February 2006, 10:14

The Boris is a first class CCR, swims like a dream, don@t notice the hoses at all.

Cheers,

Dave Cooper.

Well,I have not dived it myself but a friend own one..he is very happy with performance but the trim is a bit to much "seahorse" for his liking and if you look at their homepage you see for yourself....
I did not mean to step on toes here,and if I could afford one I might want one myself

Just thought trim should be up there with scrubberperformance and so on
Enjoy your beautiful piece of enginering and Im sure you will be happy with it..
Please,share your thoughts when you have dived it...
Best regards
